Hey David, can you explain to me who actually gets the money for these tracks?, does the company that makes the game pay this huge load of money as a one off then recoup their cost with DLC tracks?, or do they have to pay a % to the record company?

Triple AAA games nailing the brief. Indie games surprising people out of nowhere, and expansions and patches that completely turn a game around. It's been a good year for games - now it's time for you to vote for your favourite.
